I’ve been obsessed with Bioshock since I played the game like 13 years ago. It has made a massive impact on my life. I have exhausted almost every Bioshock video on KZbin and this is by far my favorite. Such a great video, can’t wait to check out your other content.

[@pedro_peyote]

When a 17 year old game looks better then brand new AAA titles while running on 10x the fps.

[@guildarkthealchemistking7249]

I don't comment on videos often, but oh my god. This video. This was so amazing. I didn't have to be told bioshock was an amazing game. It left its mark on me as a child and has since been my favorite narratively driven game ever. I've seen so many videos about it, so many that fall so very short of what is done here. The love, dedication, and hard work put into your video is very apparent, and I would like to say thank you. Not just for making a video that was absolutely amazing, but for really paying respect to the title itself. I've never seen a video edited or written like this and you should be so proud of what you and your team made. Thank you.

[@41illusion]

I'll never forget my first experience with Bioshock the year after it's release. It changed literally the entire medium of video games overnight. It was the first video game to make the mainstream acknowledge that, while not perfect (like anything in life), this medium is still nonetheless a genuine artform.

[@ValTheVillain]

i think that an underrated addition that it added was the window cutscene. Just like Bizly said in the video, if anything they make him more powerless to the in-game situation, but that's what makes those types of scenes powerful when done right. My favorite example of a window cutscene is probably one of the early scenes in Dead Space, where you watch part of your crew get attacked by necromorphs whilst the vents around you clang and bump only signaling to you that you have no time stand and watch but at the same time you cannot look away from the scene before you. Theres a lot of irony with this scene as well because when you go into it you know that you're safe from the monster attacking your friends but you also obviously want to help them despite the fact that you fully know that there is absolutely NOTHING you could do to save them. (ofc when you start NG+ in the remake this feels a little silly for you because at that point you feel like you could fight god but that's just how NG+ usually feels)

[@justadude450]

I've never played any of the Bioshock games, so all I think about when I hear about these games is that Infinite apparently resulted in a lot of innovations in 3D animation.

[@Synchro789]

In the same way overwatch did 😅

[@cryptidcorviid]

ah yes. leaps and bounds in technology were made as a result of wanting to see..... well y'know.

Well if you could play any single one of the series make sure it ISNT infinite. Easily far and away the worst one.

[@c4cezar_magz]

Jesus Christ dude I can tell you and geek went all out with this. The editing is so amazing as well as script writing and general direction. I think it's hard to make someone want to experience a game for themself after seeing a summary of it, and while the game itself lends to that, it's also the video essayist that makes that possible. I think the way the game was portrayed so beautifully is so helpful for that. It felt less like I was watching some random dude explain shit to me and more like I was seeing what the game really is. Plus some random dude explaining shit to me but I think you get what I mean. The immersion in your videos has become so so amazing and so impressive. I don't think I've seen stuff like it before tbh. Not to mention, the immersion is also a great help to attention span. I only checked my phone like once during a 50 minute video which is insanely impressive lol. Keep up the great work man, you're killing it
